andrea fujii has an update for us. andrea? >> reporter: good afternoon, mary. safety was one of the main concerns on everyone who was in lockdown. the many buildings on the johns hopkins campus. let's look at what it looked like earlier today. police weren't giving these people much information but did assure us a situation was contained to the eighth floor of the nelson building. after the virginia tech shooting, johns hopkins apparently beefed up security and added 400 police officers. they and all of the baltimore city officers received text messages about what was going on. >> the first means that we communicate is with an emergency text message. that went out before i got to my building and to the hospital. that text message went out over the hopkins cell phone. we follow that up with e-mails and everything else, but all staff members are encouraged routinely, new hires are

encouraged routinely to ensure they sign up for those emergency text messages. >> reporter: they have not had an incident like this as long as people can remember, obviously. now, there are not metal detectors in the hospital. they say they have thousands of people coming in and out of the hospital every day and putting metal detectors in, is just not feasible. right now, the protocol is for patients and visitors to check in before being allowed in the hospital. it's not clear if that policy might change. mary, back to you. >> thank you, andrea. we are learning more about the response by police to this. we have insight from a law enforcement officer. jessica? >> reporter: kai, frank joins us now. thank you for being here. >> you are welcome. >> reporter: can you walk us through. you saw the same images we saw here when the tactical team showed up. walk me through the situation. >> first there is a lot of

baltimore county police. they also called in the fbi because this is such a large, as you can explain it better, such a large hospital. >> reporter: sure. what normally happens is because if fib's seen the hopkins building is huge. and one police department or one s.w.a.t. team can only search if this perpetrator got loose on multiple floors, the tactical teams would have to search floor by floor room by room. the more teams you have there able to help you, the faster, quicker that is accomplished. >> reporter: okay. the president of johns hopkins university has thanked all law enforcement for how quickly everyone responded today. thank you for being with us. >> you are very welcome. >> reporter: back to you in the studio. >> thank you. let's recap everything we know right now. dr. david cohen was show the after 11:00 this morning. dr. cohen is alive and expected to recover. the suspect in the shooting has now been identified as paul
